Why is it that when I look in the mirror, I look decent. Not drop-dead gorgeous or anything, but I look pretty damn good! But when I take a picture of myself, I look like.. eww. Do other people see me the way I see myself or the way the camera sees me?

1) You do not represent Donald Trump—you represent the United States of America. This statement is fundamentally anti-American. 2) Not only is this statement absurd and wrong, but it’s also grammatically incorrect. Trumps’?!

I am sick and laid up on the couch. My cat, Loki, is laying on my chest. He wants me to believe that he is concerned for me, that he is nursing me back to health. But I know he is just waiting for me to die so that he can eat my face. I love him so much. My view right now:

My bread turned out too crumbly, I spilled oil all over the floor while making lunch (and overcooked my eggs, when it's too expensive to be doing that!), and then the trash bag tore open and spilled garbage everywhere when I was trying to take it out. Today is over. I quit. Good night.

School has been out for my kiddos all week due to snow and negative temperatures. I have lost track of time. I just put a loaf of cinnamon bread in the oven and cleaned the kitchen. I sat down to congratulate myself on a weekend well started. Y'all... It is THURSDAY 😭

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Today's read was Incidents Around the House by Johh Malerman, and maaaannnn that ending 😭 💙📚 (Spoiler-ish: I hate when scary stories end sadly. It makes the whole thing sad, and not scary at all.) #booksky #horror #horrorbooks #ghoststory

I hate having to CHOOSE which ad I watch, especially when I am already salty about ads on a service I pay for anyway 🙄 Capitalism is the worst.

I had started Brother by Ania Ahlborn last night, but finished it today. It was solid. I am usually able to see the twist from a mile away, but this time it took me by surprise. I'm going to be thinking about this one for a looong time.💙📚 #booksky #horror #thriller #horrorbook #bookrecs

Today's afternoon read was Bloom by Delilah S. Dawson. Short and quick, and so very lovely. I figured it out very quickly, but that didn't cheapen the payoff. 💙📚 #booksky #horrorbook #horror

When's the last time a movie disappointed you? I'll go first: Right now. I just finished Cuckoo (2024), and it was... not good at all. (Ftr Hunter Schafer was great, she was acting her ass off with what little she had to work with. The plot and script were just BAD.) #movies #horrorsky

Spent my afternoon reading The Last Thing to Burn by Will Dean, and that was not a terrible way to spend 3-and-a-half hours. So many triggers, so be sure to look the book up before you dive in. It's definitely not for everyone. 💙📚 #booksky #thrillerbook

This is fucking bananapants. This is the shit they taught us in grade school about other countries. "Other countries tell their citizens what to think, but not America! The greatest country in the world!" Are we great again now?

Update: Smile 2 was NOT scarier, but it was MUCH GORIER. I really liked it. (Ftr, I liked the first one too.) Naomi Scott acted her ass off. The whole vibe of the movie was immaculate. The hallway scene with the "smilers" was art. It just.. wasn't scary. #horrorsky #horrormovies #horror

On today's episode of Nate Watches Movies Years After They're Released: I watched Smile (2022). Maybe I just have too much trauma in my life, but it wasn't scary AT ALL. Just really fuckin sad. Is Smile 2 scarier? #horrormovies #horrorsky #horror

I can't sleep so I'm laying in bed & staring up through my blinds at the full moon. I have suncatcher stickers on my window & the moonlight is making them sparkle. (Yes my room is actually lit up purple because I am 42 and still afraid of the dark, so I use a bat-shaped led lamp as a nightlight.)

I put off watching Fall (2022) for years because I was afraid it would terrify me. I should have kept putting it off because it was HORRIBLE. #horrorsky #horrormovies #horror

I ordered some new earrings for my 13-year-old. Look at all these plastic baggies 😭 One bag per pair; 21 pair. Plus the bag that holds all the bag. 22 bags for some fucking earrings.
